Don’t tell my husband but I’m a little bit in love with Ted Lieu right now. In response to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen saying “We will not apologize” for doing our job, Ted tweeted, “I don’t give a shit if you apologize. We just need you to reverse your policy of ripping kids away from parents.”
Dear @SecNielsen: I don't give a shit if you apologize. We just need you to reverse your policy of ripping kids away from parents.
Also, how did you go from saying such a policy doesn't exist to now saying you won't apologize for it? Why all the lies from Homeland Security? https://t.co/jv6YFAKGNU

Then, he followed up with this — “Dear Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen: You stated today the minors were “well taken care of.” So tell us, what do you put in those CAGES?”

And then:
Dear @SecNielsen: I dare you to listen to this ProPublica audio tape from a US detention facility, and tell us again how you are treating kids well. Because there is nothing well about ripping kids from their parents. https://t.co/S1p6f4EmME

And then this:
Earlier this month Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. @SecNielsen apparently backed out.
I call on the GOP Chair @RepGoodlatte to subpoena her to testify about the @POTUS policy of separating #ImmigrantChildren from parents
